Quotation of the Day for March 30, 2014



"I think it's a good way to get attention to the main problem of global warming. Namely that, yes it is a real problem but we're not fixing it. I think we have no sense of the scale involved.

"We don't burn fossil fuels to annoy Al Gore. Because fundamentally it underpins pretty much everything we like about civilization. Really changing our emissions of CO2 is not going to be about switching off lights for an hour, it's going to be about something much much more.

"I sympathize with the organizers, they've got something that really caught on, and they got everybody excited about this, and everybody says 'I care about global warming.' But I think in some fundamental way it sends the wrong message."

- Bjorn Lomborg, on Earth Hour.
